While you can appreciate it now do you ever think what it might have been like if you lived in a nice community and never moved? How different your life might be today?[/quote]
I can only really speak for me. I think I got exposure to cultures and experiences and people and that helped me grow as a person, even though I was a kid at the time. Easier to learn a new language when you’re a kid, too.
I feel really lucky now to have had that growing up. When I was a kid, I used to wish I could be as lucky as all those kids who stayed put in one town and grew up their whole lives there. Now I see how sheltered they were. It’s an opportunity that not many people have in their lives to move to different cities, for me different country. You just can’t get that kind of lesson by reading a book or watching a movie. You live it.
When you think about the expense in moving w/a family multiple times, it can actually be cost prohibitive for some people. Perhaps that’s why some people choose to stay put. They have no choice. They are trapped.
